Artist defines scope of work, features, price, deliverables and other details for the project in a proposal in a format according to Artist discretion. The details set forth by the Artist shall be agreed upon by the Client before work begins.

Artist reserves the right to refuse projects or requests based on content, subject, or other reasons. Specific restrictions include but are not limited to: gore, copied styles and/or plagiarism, insensitive depictions of cultures, offensive subject matter.

Work completion depends on each project and on Artist’s current available schedule. Completion deadline(s) will be agreed upon between Artist and Client beforehand.

Artist provides progress updates and seeks Client feedback voluntarily. After Artist has completed sketches and other initial steps, Client may request changes to the Commission. Client may not request changes to final products. See “Revisions” section below.

Final deliverables are provided by the Artist using email, Google Drive or similar file transfer tools, in PSD, PNG, JPG formats as applicable. Any files hosted by the Artist will be available for the Client to download for 1 month.

If there are any delays and adjustments to timeline, the Artist will inform the Client.

Clients must first agree to delays and amendments to timeline exceeding 1 month after the deadline through standard communication channels.

Up to three revisions are allowed per item shown to the Client during the process. Client will be shown sketches to determine if changes should be made.

After line art, only minor revisions are allowed. (i.e. no changing the pose, expression or anything that would require heavily redrawing parts of the drawing which have previously been approved by Client.)

Additional charges for excessive revisions may be required.

Revisions may affect progress and timeline.

Clients may not edit the work after final delivery unless specified in the commission information, project outlines or otherwise approved by the Artist.

Ongoing communication and discussion will occur throughout the project, including work in progress, idea generation and collaboration, situational updates, and more.
